Coffee Art: A Waltz of Foam
Shanghai, July 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CoffeeLatte art is a method of pouring steamed milk into espresso to create designs on the surface of the coffee. It can also involve drawing simple decorative patterns directly on the foam. Latte art is particularly difficult to execute consistently because it requires specific conditions for both the espresso cup and the milk. The quality of the latte art also depends on the barista’s experience and the performance of the espresso machine. Ultimately, pouring beautiful latte art is definitely a challenge for any barista aiming to be an artist of latte craftsmanship..
